Hi Elizabeth,

If you want to retain the data that is displayed by the fields, select the
whole document and then use Ctrl+Shift+F9.  That will convert the data to
ordinary text.  If you want to hide the display of field codes (toggle them
off), use Alt+F9.  If you actually want to delete the fields (and their
contents) completely, run a macro containing the following code:

Dim i As Long
For i = ActiveDocument.Fields.Count To 1 Step -1
   ActiveDocument.Fields(i).Delete
Next i

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested.  Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.
Hope this helps

Elizabeth,

CTRL+a to select all and CTRL+SHIFT+F9 will turn all field codes results to
text.

In addition to the methods suggested, if you want to remove the fields
completely use Word's replace function to replace ^d with nothing.

The methods suggested won't get at fields in the headers and footers. If you
need to reach them, I would suggest first going into header/footer view and
Ctrl-A, Ctrl-Shift-F9 in each header and footer. That is, do it before
converting the body text because the header / footer may rely on the
existence of some field in the body of the document and may not come out
right if the underlying fields are converted first.
